Sounds like a murmur. Heart murmurs can be whoosh (like mine), clicks, purrs, gallops. If you google heart murmur and look at the descriptions under the choices, there's a couple that have sounds you can hear. Pretty interesting and cool. They label them according to the valve involved or problem.

yeah when Chris aka Cree Cree was born you could put your ear on his chest and hear the washing machine sound he had a grade 6/6 murmur and after his surgery it came down to a 1-2/6 and now it has been told to me by his cardiologist it is a 3/6 and I have no idea he told me it was due to him running. I said he ahsn't done anything different then any other times we have visited.
thanks for you input
